(3) K-3 Illustrated by Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher. Angelou's poem (first read at the 2005 White House tree-lighting ceremony) is about the promise of peace that the Christmas season brings, urging listeners to "look beyond complexion and see community." The luminous oil, acrylic, and fabric illustrations on canvas, depicting a snow-covered town, add concreteness to Angelou's words. A CD of Angelou reading the poem is included.
